Evaluating the Organizational and Economic Provision for the Logistic Activities of Ukrainian Trade Enterprises

Abstract

The article is aimed at evaluating the organizational and economic provision of the logistic activities in terms of retail and wholesale enterprises in Ukraine presented by a sample population, operating in different business directions, by assessing the components of the organizational and economic provision of the logistic activities. The result of this evaluating is the definition of coefficients, specially: breadth of implementation of logistic functions, quality of the organizational, personnel, material, information-communication, financial provision, and, as result, definition of an integral indicator reflecting the level of provision by these components. To define the breadth of implementation of logistics at the trading enterprises, a survey of employees of the researched enterprises was carried out, which included the question about the implementation of logistic functions for the main types of logistics. Positioning of the surveyed trading enterprises of the sample population is carried out, firstly, by the number of activities and the breadth of implementation of logistic functions; secondly, according to the integral indicators of organizational and economic provision of logistic activities. The existing link between the indicators of organizational and economic provision of logistic activities and the main results of the economic activities of the researched trade enterprises of the sample population is substantiated. Prospects for further research in this direction are to develop ways to improve the organizational and economic provision of logistic activities of trade enterprises.
